Grew 5 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:15.279 up in south central Los Angeles, you know, a typical 6 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.199 LA kid. You know, grew up in the streets, the 7 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.920 street life, the gang bang and the homelessness, you know, 8 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.399 the single parents and typical things that the kids from 9 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.559 the inner city, you know what I'm saying, come from 10 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.239 coming up in LA you know what I mean.

You 13 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:34.960 know what I'm saying. It was just a fight because 14 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.840 that's the way of life. But it's a fight for survival, 15 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.000 you know what I mean. From you know, just being 16 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.159 in an environment of where you have to pick a side, 17 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.719 whether you're blood or a crip, you know what I mean. 18 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.880 And just having you know, pretty much very humble beginnings 19 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.159 where we didn't have much and it was you have 20 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.600 to go out and get it if you wanted, you 21 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:52.920 know what I mean. 22 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.520 Respect. So did you always know growing up as a 23 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.439 kid that you wanted to be, you know, a boxer 24 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.920 or how did that whole thing come into a place. 25 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.320 You know, I'm not one of those kids who grew 26 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.519 up fighting like recon recreationally, you know what I mean. 27 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.840 I grew up in the streets fighting. I was like, oh, 28 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:10.280 I'm grow up with be a fighter. I'm not want 29 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.719 of the kids to be doing five six, seven years. 30 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.799 To defend yourself. If you had to do whatever, you. 31 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.519 Did it for fun, you know what I'm saying. 32 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.760 We slapped those backyard fights like you know, like Kimbo. 33 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.079 You know that was part was the way of life. 34 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.079 I mean, but my thing was it was football, you know, 35 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.719 first and foremost before anything. I mean, once I got 36 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.040 into playing sports, but my dream was never to be 37 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.239 a professional fighter. I mean that just kind of happened 38 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.120 later on down the line. And you know it's funny. 39 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.040 You'll do one thing and such a mind or doing 40 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.120 one thing, but life would take you a totally different directions. 41 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.519 For sure, opens up other doors, the things that you 42 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.560 probably didn't know that were going to happen. Was definitely, So, 43 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.879 were you wanting to be a pro football player? 44 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.680 Yeah, well I did. I have the opportunity. I got 45 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.560 picked up with it. Chicago Bears, And at that time 46 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.760 when I got picked up, I had already set my 47 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.159 mind that once I'm done playing ball, I want to 48 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.159 transition over and to do combatives, you know, I mean 49 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.840 just straight mma and kickbox and moist height and all that. 50 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.519 And so when I find the site, I was dumbplaying ball. 51 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.319 I went on and transitioned over and from there it 52 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.439 was I took off. 53 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.039 Was it something that like, did you transition into it? 54 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:15.960 Because it's something you felt like a released, like an 55 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.599 outlet as far as like any aggression or things that 56 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.639 you had out or how did you go from switching 57 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.400 gears from football and like you're still hitting people, but 58 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.400 now you're punching people in the face. It's not like 59 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.520 there's no I'm a violent individual. 60 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:33.280 That's what it comes down to. Okay, No, but I 61 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.599 just I wanted to do something different and it's still 62 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.360 a physical sport. Yeah, I mean. And I grew up 63 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.599 watching all the greats and at the time one of 64 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.120 my boys, who was Kimball Rest in peace, that's what 65 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.000 when YouTube just hit and he was all over the 66 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.159 internet beating up fools in the backyard, and my teammates 67 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.039 pulled me in like yo, beasts. You should be doing this, 68 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.560 you could do it. I'm like, yeah, maybe when I'm done, 69 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:56.280 I'll try it out. 70 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:57.080 I like. 71 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.599 And that's kind of how it happened. 72 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.400 He was their mind too. It was back in the day. 73 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.439 He's see our security for in reality in the VIP 74 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.080 and stuff like that. So I named my dog after Kimbo. Actually, 75 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.199 so Rip, it's a Kimbo. He was a sweet soul 76 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.759 very you know. It's great to see his son, you know, 77 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.439 kind of following in his fostep too. Hes just like him, 78 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.479 which it's crazy. So you did some backyard fighting yourself? 79 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:21.840 Is anywhere that we can find out there on some 80 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:22.639 YouTube videos. 81 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.400 No, you'll definitely see that. What wasn't no cell phones 82 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.719 back then, What wasn't no cameras out, what wasn't doing 83 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.479 none of that? It was getting down where you're mad 84 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:31.879 at South Central style? 85 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.360 All right? There you go, there you go. So you 86 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.439 go into you start with MMA, and how do you 87 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.159 transfer over to boxing? How did you get into that because. 88 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.360 It's completely different, right, correct, And even before boxing, it 89 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.159 was MMA, kickboxing and muay Thai and then boxing. So 90 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.039 I've done pretty much everything combatively on a professional level. 91 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:51.960 Do you think that that helps with your craft of 92 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.159 being in the boxing knowing a little bit of everything. 93 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.560 It's definitely some of the things translate over as far 94 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.400 as the footwork, like coming from being a kickboxer. Every 95 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.680 punch we throw, a kick comes off of that, or 96 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.599 kick comes off the punch punch off the kicks. Our 97 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.360 angles are very different, you know what I mean. So 98 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.360 that's part of the things I was able to bring 99 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.639 over and it translated in the box that which also 100 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.080 give me, you know, sort of a jump as opposed 101 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.719 to guys who's been doing straight peer boxing their whole life. 102 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.519 Because the right and at the end of the day, 103 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.439 a punch is not hard than to kick. So we 104 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.759 we used to taking punishment damage, so it wasn't hard to. 105 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.319 Transition punch or a kick, which you want to take more. 106 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.360 I mean, no, nothing to fore like kicking somebody in 107 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.439 the head, you know, but whatever, you get the job done, 108 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:33.759 all right. 109 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.279 I like that. I like that. So who were some 110 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.000 of your idols growing up and like that you wanted 111 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.839 to get into this business that you were like you 112 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.480 saw them and they're like fight there, you know, their 113 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.560 will to like be great like legends, right. 114 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.759 People that I looked up man, And that's it's very slim, 115 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.879 you know. I mean being somebody who grew up in 116 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.040 the streets with no male figure, no male role model. 117 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.120 So it's a very small group of people who I 118 00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.759 can look at it be like damn. I like how 119 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.000 they conduct theyself, for the work ethic they have, and 120 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.160 that's you know, of course, my man Mike Tyson. I 121 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.560 look at people Muhammad Ali, Kobe Bryant, I mean, Walter Payton, 122 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.079 guys guys of that nature who had the tremendous work 123 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.519 ethic and because of that they would have the pinnacle 124 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:15.120 of their craft. 125 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.680 Overall upstanding guys like all the way around. I feel 126 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.079 like it takes more than it takes the craft obviously 127 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.319 the initial part, but it takes like other things to 128 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.680 make you a solid I think, to be like a legendary, 129 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.680 it's like you have to have all those key components. 130 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.399 How does it feel to be, you know, compared to 131 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.519 legends like Mike Tyson and saying that you know you're 132 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.240 the next Mike Tyson. How does that feel to like 133 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.519 hear that and see you know your idle, watch your 134 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.439 fights and you know, talk to you and like things 135 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:37.959 like that. 136 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.160 Right, of course, it feels good being somebody who you 137 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.360 watch pretty much a whole life. It was all about 138 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.839 turn on HBO and see the heavyweights, and it was 139 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.720 Mike dropping fools, you know. So it's of course it's 140 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.160 an honor for people, you know, to compare us, but 141 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.319 at the end of the day, they will never be 142 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.560 a never Mike Tyson. I mean, and I'm myself. I'm me, 143 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.639 I'm James the Beast Wilson. It just happened that both 144 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.680 of us being in the heavyweight division, we were on 145 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.319 the smaller side of that division. So because of that, 146 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.000 we have a very explosive style, a very aggressive and 147 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.639 Ferocian style, and uh that we're coming to take your 148 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.399 head off. So that's that's pretty much why we get 149 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.680 that comparison a lot. Yeah, I mean, because that's what 150 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.839 we gotta do. We gotta get up in their chest respect. 151 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.519 I like that you say that, you know there is 152 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.600 no comparison of source, but you are your own, and 153 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.839 so you say, best smode you how you strive through 154 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.759 your whole career with seeing that beast smud? Where did 155 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.399 that come from? 156 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.720 Man? I started like in high school. And that's just 157 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.879 the simple fact of everything I did, I went one 158 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.240 hundred and fifty percent. I was the guy. I was 159 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.319 the natural leader. I was the guy pulling everybody up. 160 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.839 Come on, we got to train, we gotta work out, 161 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.399 we got to do extra reps, extra sprints. All this 162 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.240 that just happened naturally. I mean, everything I put in 163 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.519 was one hundreds of percent. And that's just kind of 164 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.040 you know, how the bee smoke came. 165 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.519 Did you call yourself out or did somebody give you 166 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:48.959 that name? 167 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.319 That just came from my coaches and my teammates and 168 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.040 the Beast? Yeah, pretty much. That just it's a certain mindset, 169 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.079 certain mentality, you know what I mean, that you got 170 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.199 to carry. And that's that's what I had. 171 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.839 So your quote Beast mode or no mode? Did you trademark? 172 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.680 So with that, I see that you do a lot of, 173 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.199 you know, great things with the camps that you have 174 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.439 for children and adults as well. Talk about that a 175 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.040 little bit more. 176 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.240 Yeah, one of the things I'm really big on, man, 177 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.600 is giving back and helping out our youth, specifically foster care. 178 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.240 You know, all the kids in probation and dcfs and 179 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.920 all the kids who's going through the epidemic of being bullied, 180 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.040 you know what I mean. So I saw the programs 181 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.480 at these nonprofit group homes all around southern California where 182 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.839 I'll go and I'll teach these guys how to defend themselves, 183 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.120 you know I mean. Of course, first and foremost we 184 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.199 want to be able to defuse the situation, Burke, you 185 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.399 know what I mean. But the reality is, in this 186 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.240 day and age, it's yeah, yeah, you got yeah, when 187 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:50.639 it's time to knuckle up, you gotta be able to 188 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.319 knuckle up, you know what I mean. And the problem 189 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.319 is a lot of kids they just don't know how, 190 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.600 you know what I mean. So because they don't know how, 191 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.839 they're fearful, you know what I mean. So that's where 192 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.000 I'm coming out and still these tools in them. Not 193 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.240 only I mean to teach them how to defend itself 194 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.279 with their hands, but also it's been a character you 195 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.199 know what I mean, morals and values and things that 196 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.040 you know, nobody could take away from them from the 197 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.720 rest of their life. 198 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.560 Why do you think that you're so passionate in that? 199 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.920 Is that from your upbringing and it's something that that 200 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.600 you that somebody maybe showed to you and gave you 201 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.319 that knowledge, or why do you feel so heavy and 202 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.959 passionate to give back. 203 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.519 To because I was one of them. I was I 204 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.480 was that kid sitting in juvenile hall face and get bullied. 205 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.199 I didn't get bullied. I defended myself. I mean, I 206 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.279 wasn't the kid who is you want to sit there 207 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.480 and just take a ship, you know what I mean. So, 208 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.159 but I've seen it happen, I mean, and I've seen 209 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.919 the effect that I have on these kids, So me 210 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.320 coming from that being in that situation, man, it's only 211 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.600 right that I go back and share the knowledge and 212 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.320 the tools that I have. 213 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.360 I love that. I feel like, you know, everybody's given 214 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.519 a platform for you know, whatever it is, and if 215 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.639 you can't give back, especially from where you're from, and 216 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.159 you know, help better it on some you know levels, 217 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.519 then you know we're not doing our job completely. And 218 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.080 that's again with the whole process of being a legend 219 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.240 and branding ourselves and and being you know, the best 220 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.039 that we can really be, right And it. 221 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.279 Really it just takes something that's small, just going to 222 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.120 speak because a lot of kids they don't really see 223 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.679 a way out. All they see is what's right in 224 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.240 front of them, you know what I mean. It's not 225 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.440 what you see in front of you. It's about what 226 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.799 you could visualize in your head and what you want 227 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.600 yourself to become of what you want your future to 228 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.399 look like. So I think I'm a I'm a testament 229 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:21.720 of that. 230 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.840 Fucks. So you you're really heaving into kids and you 231 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.080 you have your children on your page a lot. What 232 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.960 do you you know, do you show them the hard 233 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.120 work ethic from what you do and do you want 234 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.679 them to be in the boxing field or do you 235 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.360 just kind of do it because you want to like 236 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.639 display discipline and that whole kind of role. 237 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.399 You know, I don't really I don't have I don't. 238 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.639 I don't care what they do. I mean, where they fight, 239 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.480 play football, whatever you want to be, an artist, a doctor, whatever, 240 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.360 it don't matter. At the end of the day, whatever 241 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.559 role they choose to take, if they want to be 242 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.240 the best of it, they're gonna have to use all 243 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.039 the tools that I'm gonna sit in them right now. 244 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.759 I mean, because at the end of the day, enough 245 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.759 it's gonna come easy. I have to work your ass 246 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.559 off or whatever you want. It's gonna be a lot 247 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.519 of nose, a lot of closed doors, you know what I mean. 248 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.440 And if you're a weak minded individual, you ain't never 249 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.039 gonna make anywhere because you go throwing a tie, You're 250 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.919 gonna quit. So that perseverance is so big. I mean, 251 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.000 that's why I put them through everything that I put 252 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.039 them through. I mean, so whatever road they want to choose, 253 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.919 I'm all for it. I can guarantee you they gonna 254 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:18.759 be successful at it. 255 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.399 I like that. I like that, you know, it takes 256 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.159 a strong man to continue to be present in you know, 257 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.480 life and just something that you want to instill what 258 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.200 you either didn't have or just because that's that's your own, 259 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.279 you know, and you want to always have the best. 260 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.679 So what do you have going on right now?

Yeah, I mean it don't matter 283 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.879 what stage or any in your life. Man. Like people 284 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.480 always ask, oh it's too late to do this, too 285 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:34.159 late to do that. It's never too late. It's only 286 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.080 too late when you make the decision for yourself that 287 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.679 you're going to quit. So until that happens, man, the 288 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.240 opportunity is there as long as you will to sacrifice, 289 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.159 persevere and put your work in. Man, you go, you 290 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:44.399 go accomplish what you need to. 291 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.720 Or no mode all day. So do you get you say, 292 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.440 what the No matter how old you are, do you 293 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.679 get a big stigma because you know you're thirty two, 294 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.159 and the people always say, oh, you're not young enough. 295 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.279 You're not you're in this level of fighting at now. 296 00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.519 Do you think like that that holds you back? It's 297 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.519 like the age because I feel like, you know, it 298 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.279 doesn't matter what age you are, but people stigmatize you 299 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.279 because like, oh, you're too old or you're too young 300 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.240 or this or whatever. Do you find that the same 301 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.720 way in the boxing world. 302 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.360 I do get that question, and even not for myself, 303 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.960 from other people who wants to go into it. Oh, 304 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.320 just to let for me and look, my thing is 305 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.480 on the straight boxing side. I'm coming in on the 306 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.080 later end, but people forget that I have ten years 307 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.440 prior to that with other combative sports. Yeah, I mean 308 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.399 not just straight boxing. So at the end of the day, man, 309 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.080 it's about the amount of work you wouldn't to put in. 310 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.639 You're just an athlete overall. 311 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.639 Yeah, that's what it comes down to. I mean, if 312 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.679 you people forget George Former won a heavy wordorld tired 313 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.919 at forty one years old. Okay, So it's about your mindset. 314 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.600 It's about the work that you wouldn't put in. 315 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.639 So what work do you put in every day? Like, 316 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.240 can you put us there, let private talk. 317 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:48.360 Know. 318 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.360 What's a daily regiment of something that you do? 319 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.960 Yeah, so my day pretty much starts at four am, 320 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.919 so like I'll do every day, Yeah, pretty much. And 321 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.720 this is a matter of strip of conditioning, boxing and 322 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.159 then sparn or and again on a night round. So 323 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.000 I alternated, I mean, but pretty much it comes down 324 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.559 to about six to eight hours a day of just 325 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:11.240 straight training from running to the boxing to conditioning everything. 326 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.639 And now that happens like you're not like you don't 327 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.879 have a specific fight geared up, but you are gearing 328 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.879 up to a fight obviously. Always. Is that something that 329 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.279 you stay through every single day as a regiment or 330 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.679 is there certain times that you do it a little 331 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.600 bit harder more or less. 332 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.000 I'm definitely when a fight is locked in, I definitely 333 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.879 amp it up. So those those definitely are three days. 334 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.919 But even if you know there's nothing signed, I'm still 335 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.879 constantly training, so it's still be a too a day. Yeah, 336 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.480 I mean, I'm not just sitting around waiting till I 337 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.559 get a call. Now, it's be smaller than nomo. You 338 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.799 put it in that work regardless. 339 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.919 So with all of that being said, you sound like 340 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.639 a really busy man, How do you have time for relationships? 341 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.200 What's your current relationship status? 342 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:47.919 I'm single. 343 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.840 I'm single. Is that because that you're such a beast 344 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.960 mode at work? Or is it because you just, you know, 345 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.600 haven't found the right lady. 346 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.840 It's because I'm a very picky individual. You know what 347 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.799 I'm saying. It'll take a very lot to detain the beasts. 348 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.480 For say, so, what would that tame the beast man? 349 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.279 You know, I know when I see it? 350 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.360 Yeah, I mean, so you haven't seen it yet, you know, 351 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:07.519 were having them sprinkles up. 352 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.759 It's hard to keep my attention. 353 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:13.039 I said here at private talk. You know, I told you. 354 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.120 You know, we're at fifteen minutes in this conversation. We're 355 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.480 gonna a little bit more comfortable. We're gonna be friends 356 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.440 at the end of the time. So what makes you picky? 357 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.799 Is it because like you get I'm sure you get 358 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.279 girls all the time from being groupies or suit into 359 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.080 your d ms or like all kinds of you know 360 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.240 those things are being from la.
